August 22, 2023 at 6:47 PM

John, will you give your grassroots endorsement to Josh?

We want your name on our list! Hey John! We know you’re probably used to us asking for your financial support to win this critical governor’s race, but we want to give you the chance to support Josh in a way that won’t cost you a cent. Will you provide your grassroots endorsement to J…

MSNBC vs. Fox News

They don’t agree on much… If MSNBC says the sky is blue, Fox News thinks it’s red. That is to say, they don’t usually agree on much, John. But North Carolina’s gubernatorial race is where they CAN see eye to eye. John — Fox, MSNBC, and so many other major outlets are in agreement th…

The legislature won’t defend NC against gun violence. I will.

Join me in the fight. It’s never acceptable to make it easier for dangerous people to get their hands on guns. To do so just days after yet another school shooting, as our NC legislature did last March, is outrageous. They voted to roll back a gun safety measure that authorized sherif…

$5 — that’s all we’re asking for today.

Grassroots support > far-right millions. John, we know we ask for your help a lot. We really do appreciate that you have our backs — because your grassroots support is what is going to pull us over the finish line in this critical race. So today, we’re ONLY asking for $5. That’s it…

My opponent is a conspiracy theorist.

He’s too dangerous to be the next Governor of North Carolina. Here’s the truth, John: My opponent, Mark Robinson, is a self-described conspiracy theorist. He has accused school shooting survivors of being “crisis actors.” He referred to the Holocaust as “hogwash.” He agreed with claim…

just ONE question re: abortion rights for [email protected]

Reproductive rights are under attack! John, Josh needs to know: Will YOU pledge to be a pro-choice voter in 2024? TAKE THE PLEDGE → Abortion rights are under attack all across the country — and they’re on the ballot in 2024. Far-right politicians in the legislature have alrea…

Josh Hawley: The GOP’s most vulnerable U.S. Senator in 2024

From his own former mentor to reliable GOP mega-donors, Josh Hawley’s support base has abandoned him. John, Josh Hawley did more than just prove that he’s a fraud and a coward when he ran away after raising his fist at the Capitol on January 6th — he made himself the most vulnerable GOP …

To be completely honest...

I don’t have a lot of time today. Hi John, as a father, husband, Attorney General, and candidate for Governor, there are a number of ways I’d rather be spending my time than emailing you to ask you to donate to our campaign. (To be completely honest with you — asking for money is one …

Let me explain why that number is on my mind… This is important, John — Last month, we received 3,324 contributions online. That’s a huge number, especially for July, and it shows just how strong this grassroots campaign is! But here’s the problem: Every month we get closer to Electio…

Some things are worth fighting for.

A lesson from my dad: John — The passage of the Voting Rights Act 58 years ago today declared a recommitment to our American promise of government of, by, and for the people. Before the VRA, many states worked to prevent Black voters from exercising their political power. So-called “l…

Our future. Our vote. Our democracy.

We won’t let Legislative Republicans take it from us. Recent far-right legislation has made Republicans’ strategy clear: Rather than uphold a government of, by, and for the people, GOP legislators intend to ignore the will of the voters, John! North Carolinians want solutions — not ex…

My opponent just called educators “wicked people”
